II. FUNCTION OF EACH COLOR
II. FUNCTION OF EACH COLOR
Notes for Specifying Color Nos.
( NOTE 1 ) A knit line implies a carriage traverse (one way).
( NOTE 2 ) Do not specify only color no. 0 (miss) in a row.
( NOTE 3 ) The needle beds are automatically set in 1/2 pitch left position to knit single jersey and 1x1rib and set in the 1/4 pitch left position to knit double jersey with all needle.
( NOTE 4 ) When knit & cross, knit & stitch move, and knit & transfer are ordered, knit is performedfirst and then transfer, stitch move and cross follow.If many kinds of racking are required for a course, smaller racking then left racking havepriority.
( NOTE 5 ) Links process (transfer) is automatically performed when two adjoining courses are knittedwith the different needle beds. Note that some color nos. do not perform links process(transfer).

III. COLOR NO. OF EACH KNIT METHOD
1) Knit
Point- Links process (transfer) is automatically performed when two adjoining courses are knitted with the
different needle beds.- Links process is automatically performed when using front knit or back knit color (e.g. 4, 5, 6, 7 and
so on).- Front/back knit (color no. 3) is performed with the needle beds in the 1/4 pitch left position.
PurposeUse in case of knitting without links process.
- Use the color no. 118 together with the color nos. 32, 52, 82, and 92 on the option line L13, and usethe color no. 119 together with the color nos. 31, 51, 81, and 91 on the option line L13 to knit withoutauto transfer process. (Knit for auto transfer)
- Links process is performed with front or back line.
2) Tuck
Point- Do not specify the color nos. 11 and 12 or 111 and 112 in the same row.- The color nos. 41, 42 and 88 are performed with the needle beds in 1/4 pitch left position.

3) Miss and No Needle Selection
PointThe function of the color no. 16 is the same as that of the color no. 0.Do not draw only the color no. 0 in a row. Draw color no. 16 instead.
Point- The color nos. 116 and 117 perform the links process to the front or back line.
4) Miss
PurposeYou can move the carrier to the desired direction regardless of the carriage direction. For example, tomove the carrier away from knitting range, carriage stroke is within the knitting range when selectingindependent carrier movement. To move the carrier to the opposite direction of knitting direction,carriage course to move the carrier is unnecessary when selecting independent carrier movement.
Point- This color no. cannot be drawn in the same line as other color nos. (except for auto yarn feeder point)- Direction of independent carrier movement does not have relation with carriage direction.- Specify the direction of independent carrier movement on the option line R5. (See the option line
R5=6 and 7)- When considering the knitting direction (carriage), independent carrier movement line is notincluded.- Though the last course of the pattern should be ended with left going, you do not have to include theindependent carrier movement line.
For the details of independent carrier movement, see “Synchronous/Independent Carrier Movement”described later.

PurposeTo make cross easily, relief knit is performed before cross. Relief knit is automatically performed wheneither of the cross pair has 3 or more pitch racking.
Point- When a stitch is inserted in the cross, relief knit is automatically performed even for 2 x 2 cable
because racking is 3 pitch.- Relief knit is not automatically performed for 2 x 2 cable. When relief knit is required for 2 x 2 cable,
a knit line is necessary under color no. 4, and knit cancel command on the line R5 has to be specifiedin the same row as cross. (See “R5: Knit Cancel Command” for details.)

7) R8: Yarn out Command
PurposeNormally, yarn-in and yarn-out is automatically output. Therefore, you do not have to specify.By specifying, however, you can output yarn-out in the desired course.
Point- Yarn-in and yarn-out is automatically output in the following conditions:
- in the course where the carrier for knitting is used for the first time. (auto yarn in)- in the course where the carrier for knitting is used for the last time. (auto yarn out)- the yarn of the carrier to be held by the yarn holding hook (auto yarn out)- in the course where the yarn end is passed between yarn inserting hook and yarn holding hook(auto yarn in / yarn out)
- When using the carrier performing yarn out on purpose again, yarn in command is outputautomatically in the first course.
- Specifying yarn out on purpose means:when passing the yarn end from yarn holding hook to yarn inserting hook, sometimes the yarn isacross the yarn of the carrier which stops in the middle of the starting position of knitting dependingon the carrier position. In this case, you can perform yarn out to the right end by specifying the yarnout for the carrier which stops in the middle.

PurposePrevents the loops from moving upward together with the needles.It may be effective when using on the tubular part after knitting the set up.
Point- Front fabric presser is attached on the front carriage. Back fabric presser is moved by using the same
rail as yarn inserting hook. Therefore, back fabric presser cannot be used while yarn inserting hook isused.
- Once the back fabric presser is used, it moves together with the carriage until yarn inserting hook isused or up to the end of the pattern.

11) R13: Stitch Range Command
PurposeUse this command to change the stitch value in the specified range gradually. By using this command,you do not have to specify with changing the stitch address (R6) for every course.
Point(1 or 2)- Use 1 and 2 to distinguish each range when 2 ranges are adjacent.- The address specified for option line R6 of the first line of the specified range becomes the startingaddress.
- The address specified for option line R6 of the last line of the specified range becomes the endingaddress.
- The specification of R6 of the lines except for the first and last line is ignored.- The specification is ignored even if specified on the knit cancel line.- Considering the economizer no. (R1), it is output with auto process to the corresponding courses in thespecified range.
(+10)- Specify in the range specified with 1 or 2. With the specification 1, specify 11. With the specification 2,specify 12.
- Specify the range to change the stitch value within the specified range.- Without +10 specification, process is performed with unit of 2 courses on the controller.
(e.g.)Knitting starts with stitch value set on R6 stitch address 5 on the starting line in the specified range,and ends with stitch value set on R6 stitch address 3 on the ending line in the specified range. Courseno. within the specified range is automatically calculated. Stitch value changes with unit of 4 coursesaccording to the specification of R13=11.
If changing the jump economizer no. specified in the line with stitch range on the controller, stitch maynot be changed correctly in the specified range because the course no. in the stitch range and actualcourse no. are different.

Synchronous carrier movement: moves the carrier together with the carriage.(e.g.) When the carriage moves to the left, carrier also moves to the left.
Independent carrier movement: moves the carrier regardless of the carriage movement.(How to set synchronous carrier movement/independent carrier movement)
A) From carrier stop position to auto yarn feeder set point, the setting “INDP/SYNC” for ACT in AutoProcess Parameters activates.
B) With needle selection inside of auto yarn feeder points, carrier moves synchronously.Only with no needle selection inside of auto yarn feeder points, you can select synchronous carriermovement or independent carrier movement with color nos. 16, 216, and 217.The setting “INDP/SYNC” for ACT in Auto Process Parameters does not activate.
C) For the yarn carrier reset adjustment from auto yarn feeder point set point, carrier moves independentlyregardless of the setting.

VII. AUTO PROCESS
2) Setting for carrier preparation data
CA (Carrier): Sets the carrier no. to be moved.START/END: Sets the position of auto yarn feeder point.ACT: Switches synchronous and independent by drawing the color no. 16, 216, or 217 in
the original drawing.DIR. (Direction): Sets the direction to move the carrier.I/O: Sets the yarn in/yarn out command.
3) Timing of synchronous/independent for no needle selection(Synchronous carrier movement)
- With no needle selection, carrier can be moved synchronously at the elastic raising cam position.- At the position of leading elastic raising cam/trail elastic raising cam, one carrier for each can be moved
synchronously.- At the normal knitting position, maximum 2 carriers can be moved synchronously.
(Independent carrier movement)
4) Limitation of synchronous carrier movement for transferAuto process is performed at the available positions shown below.
